Many Utah homes, especially older properties in areas like Sugar House or Ogden's historic districts, were simply not built for today's electrical loads. Your home's original wiring may struggle with modern refrigerators, multiple computers, and electric vehicles.
We ensure your system can handle the load and is installed right the first time. Our expert technicians perform a thorough load calculation to assess your current usage and plan for future needs. This prevents overloads, flickering lights, and tripped breakers, ensuring your electrical system runs safely.

Outdated wiring replacement targets specific sections of wiring that are no longer safe or sufficient for your home's power demands. We identify and replace problematic wiring, improving safety and functionality without requiring a full rewire.
Many homes have cloth-insulated wires or aluminum wiring that pose fire hazards. We precisely remove these risks and install new copper wiring, bringing your system up to current safety standards. Schedule an inspection to identify outdated wiring.
Circuit and breaker upgrades involve improving your electrical panel's capacity and safety by adding new circuits or replacing old breakers. This is essential when your breakers trip often or you add new high-demand appliances.
Frequent tripping of breakers is a clear sign your system is overloaded or outdated. We upgrade individual circuits or the entire electrical panel to prevent overloads and ensure consistent power delivery. Ask us about circuit breaker upgrades.
Outlet and switch upgrades replace old, loose, or two-prong outlets and switches with modern and functional alternatives. This improves both the safety and convenience of your home's electrical access points.
We install tamper-resistant outlets (TRRs) for child safety and ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. This protects against shocks and adds modern functionality. Upgrade your outlets and switches today.
Dedicated circuit installation provides a direct power line from your electrical panel to a single, high-power appliance or device. This prevents overloads and ensures consistent power for items like microwaves, refrigerators, or home office equipment.
Many modern appliances, such as ovens or EV chargers, require their own dedicated circuit. We install these circuits to prevent power fluctuations and improve the longevity of your valuable electronics. Inquire about dedicated circuits for new appliances.
Grounding and bonding upgrades enhance your electrical system's safety by providing a clear path for fault currents to safely dissipate. This protects against electrical shocks and equipment damage during a fault.
Proper grounding is a critical safety feature that protects your family and electronics from surges and faults. We inspect and upgrade your grounding system to meet current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. Ensure your home is properly grounded.
Electrical panel upgrades involve increasing the capacity of your main service panel to handle higher electrical loads. This is often necessary when adding major appliances, an EV charger, or expanding your home.
An outdated electrical panel is a common bottleneck for modern homes. We upgrade panels to 200A or 400A service, ensuring your home has the power it needs safely and efficiently. We also handle the entire process, including permitting and inspection management.

Understanding which types of wiring are problematic helps you identify potential hazards in your home. Many older homes in Utah still contain these unsafe materials, leading to increased fire risk and insufficient power.
Our Master Electricians are trained to identify and safely replace these hazardous wiring types. We ensure your home meets current safety standards. Schedule an inspection if your home has any of these wiring types.
This early form of electrical wiring, common in homes built before the 1940s, lacks a ground wire and uses ceramic insulators. It degrades over time and poses a significant fire hazard, especially when insulation covers it.
Used in many homes from the mid-1960s to early 1970s, aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, leading to loose connections at outlets and switches. These loose connections can overheat and ignite fires.
Often found in homes built before the 1950s, cloth-insulated wiring can become brittle and crack, exposing bare wires. This creates a shock and fire risk, especially in high-moisture areas.
Homes with two-prong outlets often indicate ungrounded wiring, meaning there's no path for fault currents to safely escape. This increases the risk of electric shock and can damage sensitive electronics.
We specialize in safely replacing these hazardous wiring types. Our licensed Master Electrician, Tyson O'Bray, personally oversees projects to ensure superior quality and safety.
Upgrading your electrical wiring provides immediate and long-term benefits beyond just fixing problems. You gain peace of mind knowing your home is safe and fully capable of handling modern electrical demands.

Wiring Upgrade Questions
Yes, you can upgrade your electrical panel without rewiring your entire house. A panel upgrade increases your home's overall electrical capacity, allowing for more power to be distributed through existing circuits. It doesn't necessarily involve replacing the wiring within the walls. We perform a load calculation to determine if your current wiring can handle the increased capacity from a new panel. Often, a panel upgrade alone solves capacity issues, especially for older homes in areas like Holladay or Cottonwood Heights. This is common when adding an EV charger or a whole-home generator.
Yes, upgrading to 200-amp service significantly increases your home's value and appeal to potential buyers. It signals a modern and solid electrical system capable of handling today's power demands, a key factor for homes in competitive markets like Park City or Alpine. A 200-amp service upgrade ensures your home can safely support multiple major appliances, an EV charger, and all modern electronics. This eliminates concerns about outdated electrical systems, making your property more attractive and often a non-negotiable for new purchases. Many buyers prioritize updated infrastructure.
Most whole-home rewires take three to seven working days depending on square footage, the number of circuits, and how accessible the walls and attic are. Partial rewires or replacing a few problem circuits are often a one or two day job. We give you a schedule up front and work in stages so your power is never off longer than necessary.
Warning signs include breakers that trip repeatedly, flickering or dimming lights when appliances start, warm or discolored outlets, a burning smell near switches, two-prong ungrounded outlets, and relying on power strips in every room. Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring should be evaluated regardless of symptoms. We inspect the system and tell you what actually needs replacing.
Yes. Rewiring, new circuits, and service changes require an electrical permit and a city or county inspection. O'Bray Electric pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and meets the inspector on site so the work is documented and code-compliant, which also protects you at resale and with your insurer.
